Champions League Final in Madrid - travel arrangements

[Coyboy]

It's hard to tell because it looks like some of the tickets have gone "missing". Out of the allocation 13% is normally given to our premium ST holders, which would leave 14,453 for the rest of us. And they've just updated the points totals to show that only 12,904 have 200+ points. And yet the initial cut-off is 209? That's at least 2.5k tickets that seem to have gone somewhere else, whether it's extras for premium people, club partners or whatever other crap.

Assuming that they don't just get allocated to us again later and there's really only about 12k available, then I'd need 7k out of 19k to turn tickets down, you'd need approximately 11.5k out of 23.5k. If there were actually 14,453 available, that would only be 4.5k/9k we'd need respectively which looks a lot more doable.

For some reason, none of them seem likely just because although some people may not be able to make it, may not want to pay so much (totally understandable) I am not sure if it will be so many. Oh well, Madrid bar it is.

Hopefully enough are put off that it somehow goes down to 151 points

Plus the fact Season Ticket renewals have to be done by Thursday so would expect a few unsold but expecting credit cards to be in .
meltdown.

Stadium open at full capacity for live screening , that's going to be some night .

 

[Wsussexspur]

Ffs missed out by 2 points . Nervous wait now. Surely not every one who is above me will be going to the game. guessing must be clear cut off point at 209 which is why they used that figure

Our group has a mixture of points ranging from 210 odd up to 400. Am I right in saying that if we all want to sit together, the 400’s will have to wait until the 200’s are allowed to apply?

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

The current loyalty points table updated today shows 12904 ST holders with 200 points or more , there are bound to be ST's not taking up the allocation plus first batch on sale doesn't sort of tally with the UEFA allocation of 16,613 to the club, quite a bit of leeway.

So a quarter are over £380; I wonder how many people will go for that price if they can’t afford it and would sell it on knowing it will be difficult to sell it on as the ID checks will probably be quite stringent.

ID checks are only on collection of tickets. Not in Madrid I believe.

This is what I was saying yesterday. If there are 13k people over 200 points, and we’re being allocated 16.6k, why is the cut off point 209? You’d think it’d be between 150 and 200 points.

Into phase 3 like...

This might partly be so that they can allocate in pairs and groups. I would think at least 500 tickets have been held back to issue as singles later on. Wasn’t this the case for a recent semi final that people were getting emails in dribs and drabs offering them tickets.

Yep. Yet the way the mail is written it sounds like they're giving all 16000 to season ticket holders based on loyalty points which can't be the case. Suggests to me the whole message is just a lie but how do they think they can get away with that when they publish the table on their own bloody site?!

THST saying they've only seen it now so maybe they'll tell us what's going later. Maybe.

Has anyone who renewed their season ticket been given the loyalty points yet?

Nope, and Trust have said on Twitter that nobody will be until after the CL tickets are sorted. Which makes sense considering some people might not renew till the deadline etc.

Thanks. That’s fair enough, was gonna wait til next week but was thinking I should do it now if I get the extra 30 points.

Missing the Wimbledon and Rochdale games looks a mistake now ?

Bound to go on offer those below 200 points only trouble is have you got the spare £300 to £500 lurking in the bottom of your wallet or purse.

 

[Saoirse]

On trust twitter.
Re: the 209 points cut off, the Club’s still working through requirements for players, staff, partners, sponsors etc. Any freed up will go into the pot for ST holders, along with any not bought in the first 3 ST windows. So 209 is a working points total for today’s announcement.

Plus anyone who hasn't booked travel/accomodation yet is going to find it seriously expensive.

Reckon that is the stupidity of it all , loads booking travel & hotels in the last couple of days without tickets then those that can now get tickets can't afford the travel costs because it's all been taken up .
£10 for live screening at The Lane that sounds value to me , win and it will be dancing in the High Rd , lose and it's not far to go home & kick the cat..

 

[Wsussexspur]

Slightly calmer after the statement from the trust. As you have to think that not every season ticket holder with over 209 points will be able to go to the game for what ever reason being financial etc. Also that all the sponsors, premium ticket holders etc won't take up their allocation.

Biggest frustration is no one outside the club knows how many people out of the 3941 people in the 200 to 240 ticket bracket have less that 209 points. Being the pessimist I am I would imagine its the majority of people.

Also the live screening at the lane might make its more attractive to people who haven't already sorted travel out to take the cheaper option and go up their and watch it.

Yep, have to admit I'm guilty of that. I know I wouldn't be able to afford it if I waited to see whether I got tickets or not so didn't have much choice - already cheaped out by deciding to take a long coach ride I can sleep on after the game rather than pay the extortionate hotel fees! And if I don't get a ticket it'll still be one hell of a party the whole day of the game and plenty of Yids around to watch it with.

The Lane is a cool option to have though, obviously if we win then the scenes will be mad everywhere!!!

I just booked for 1k flights and accomodation, Thursday to Monday in Madrid...now I can’t get on the fooking spurs website to see how many loyalty point exactly I have!!
